I saw "Some Kind of Heaven" a couple of days ago on Amazon Prime. It is not a film about The Villages so much as it is a character study of 3 people who happen to live in The Villages, one person who lives on the fringes of The Villages and how they are dealing with marital problems, starting over after the death of a spouse and how one person attempts to take advantage of those with financial resources. Some of the people in the film are definitely more sympathetic and likable than the other people in the film. I enjoyed the film, and I don't think it was a hatchet job against The Villages. This film could have been shot at On Top of the World, Sun City, Arizona or suburban Chicago. There were some nice scenes filmed at various club meetings and at the squares.

If you are on You Tube, The Villages Florida Newcomers (Jerry and Linda) interviewed the director of "Some Kind of Heaven", Lance Oppenheim. He is probably the age of a lot of Villagers children or grandchildren. The interview is worth watching.
